Parmesan-Ranch Oven-Baked Zucchini Coins | Simple Summer Side

Not sure what to do with all of that zucchini from your garden? When you get tired of zucchini bread, give this yummy baked zucchini recipe a try!

It’s that time of year when zucchini harvests abound. Whether you’re growing your own, hitting the farmers market, or picking up a few at the grocery store, you’ll find plenty at the height of freshness and for a steal of a price.

However, zucchini just seems to be one of those veggies that a lot of cooks aren’t sure how to prepare. I know I don’t have a lot of zucchini recipes in my repertoire, either. So if you’re already growing weary of your favorite zucchini bread, I’ve got an amazing baked zucchini recipe to share with you…

How Do I Cook Zucchini in The Oven?

These Parmesan-Ranch Baked Zucchini coins get loads of flavor from new Hidden Valley Cucumber Ranch, a delicious twist on the Original Ranch dressing. You’re definitely going to want to keep a bottle or two of this flavorful salad dressing on hand, because I think you’re going to want to make this yummy baked zucchini recipe over and over again this summer. It’s super quick and easy, making it a perfect side dish!

Simply slice up a couple of zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Spread each side with a thin layer of the ranch dressing, and then lay the rounds out on a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil (for easy cleanup). Sprinkle each coin with a little shredded Parmesan cheese and bake for about 15 minutes until the tops are starting to brown.

I mean, seriously… could it get any easier!?

I always like to add a little brightness to my baked and grilled foods with fresh herbs this time of year, and this baked zucchini recipe is no exception. I sprinkled some chopped fresh dill over the top, but chives, cilantro, or parsley would also be great alternatives.
